Adult Awards

The Scout Association Awards

At the Scouts we want to thank all our volunteers for their contribution to Scouting - it's an important way to make sure people stay with us and to recognise their achievements.

Awards are a wonderful way to celebrate the achievements of members and recognised volunteers in your team. You can use an award to recognise gallantry and meritorious conduct, outstanding and excellent service and long service

If you'd like to nominate a fellow Scouter for an award, please use the form links on the right of this page.

Remember that formal awards are just one way to say thanks. Get more ideas for thanking your volunteers and recognising what they do.
